• Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - June 10, 1996 Page - 2 - 5. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Matter of Proposed Increases in Fees and Charges for Services Provided by City Departments, Fees and Charges for Refuse and Recycling Services Charges. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, John Jermanis, Finance Director, presented the staff report. He discussed the three categories of fees: general fees for services, building regulation fees, and refuse and recycling fees, and the method for evaluating fee increases. Mr. Jermanis discussed the recycling fees which resulted from approval of a contract with San Leandro Recycling. He said staff still recommends a 10% reduction in green waste collection costs for multiple family dwellings. Wandzia Grycz, Assistant City Manager, discussed a letter from RHO asking that this matter be continued and consideration be given to further reductions in green waste fees for multiple dwelling units. She explained that staff met with San Leandro Recycling, who said they would have to recommend raising single family residential rates to lower multiple residential rates. She said staff recommended approval of the $4.80 rate for multiple dwelling units in excess of five units and noted this was less than the $5.10 rate for single family units. The Hearing was opened to the public. Lee Ness, 2321 Belvedere Avenue, said equity in the green waste rates is important. He has a gardener and rarely uses his green waste container, but if the rate is raised he would not use it at all. There being no further comments, on motion of Council Member Galvan, seconded by Council Member Glaze, with Mayor Corbett and Council Member Loeffler absent /excused, and carried by a majority vote, the Public Hearing was closed.
